Interpretive Summary: Foods that provide health-enhancing benefits are needed to help Americans fight obesity and poor health. Two food products, cowpeas (black-eye peas) grown in the U.S., and plantains, a type of green banana grown in tropical countries can be processed into powders used for baking bread. This study showed that cowpea or plantain can replace up to 20 percent of all-purpose flour used in machine-baked bread without problems. Cowpeas provides protein, and plantains provide minerals and vitamins, and may help to reduce the level of blood sugar rise after consumption.
